Hello culticterror 🙇🏻‍♀️ I'm a big fan of high protocol owner/slave kink especially under hypnosis if you're doming in a high protocol scenario what are some of your favorite ways to introduce new rules and play with a sub?

A very good question.

Rules are often a point of contention for me for numerous reasons but I love giving them regardless. You simply have to be smart about how you apply them. Rules have real long term effect, so they also have long term logistics to work out.

For example; a rule to pray to your Superior once a day. — while for some this would seem rather simple at first, it quickly becomes a test of your own ability to ensure you follow through, regardless of supervision which is never guaranteed.

I like to say I come with accessibility options, and it's taken to heart. With how common ADHD is, it can certainly be a lot harder for some to follow more than 2-3 active rules at a time.

So, opting for passive rules is often an easier way to start implementing them. Such as instead of needing my permission to orgasm every time since again I may not be available, having my submissive can instead be required to tell me every time they orgasm.

It's invasive and gives me more information about their habits, and it's extremely hot. Easy to enforce and easy to fuck up for small funish/punishments for those who enjoy those while also a suitable challenge for those who want to prove themselves and never fail their Superior.

But to start? No more than 8 rules when starting out; 10 is a bit of an overshoot you don't always have to reach, especially since it can be hard to come up with rules that aren't cumbersome or annoying. It's easy for things to get overwhelming.

As far as play goes with a sub in a high protocol situation, it all about the subtle control for me. Sly glances met with docile submission—little reminders of their position in contrast to my own. As well as the occasional arbitrary task or other.

Bringing hypnosis into it, it becomes a lot deeper of a bond. That kind of trust, to give someone control over you with a high protocol mindset is a lot of power. As long as you have well practiced agency, it's very fun although can still require careful management by the Tist.

For a smaller scene, there's a lot more you can reasonably get into with it. So I like to do my HP in sprints rather than marathons if that makes sense.

It takes two to tango regardless. So always make sure to vet (aka get to know and discern if they're a safe/good match for you) people before you get into anything too deep. Talk to them and learn about them for weeks at the least for that kind of level of surrender.

Not only for your own safety, but because you are want to be sure they can handle the kind of play you want without taking shortcuts that could spiral out of control.

High protocol has never been a very flashy affair as far as I'm concerned. It's quiet and intense, but often simple. So you don't really need to dig too deep to find satisfaction in your role.

ALICE: So each of the cases is categorized on four metrics with a standard integer scale, that’s your DPHW.

GWEN: Okay. Now I’m pretty sure I need to try and keep them as even as possible.

ALICE: Ok, so, it makes sense that if you’re low on “W” that means we should probably prioritize processing cases with a higher rank on that metric to bring the average up, right? … So, it’s just a hunch but I bet if we have a look at old cases and then try and sort by “W” we can find out which cases got the biggest scores in that metric and reverse engineer what you need … Now, unless I’m wrong, which, let’s be honest, is pretty damn likely, when we cross reference this shortlist for common terms we’ll find out what Freddy thinks you need and that... is... more... Bonzo?

Loving finally getting a breakdown for why DPHW is important, here.

Now I, like the utter nerd I am, have been tracking the DPHW of each case on a spreadsheet, and therefore was able to do some quick sorting just like Alice. Bonzo is definitely our highest W scorer of the lot – he’s got 2 of the 5 cases ranked as “8” on that metric, though he tends to score pretty high on P and H as well.

However.

We are not low on W. When you add up the total DPWHs of every case we’ve gotten so far, you get:

D – 136 (average score 3.2)

P – 148 (average score 3.5)

H – 210 (average score 5.0)

W – 218 (average score 5.2)

W is the highest metric. So either it needs to be the highest, and the balance only works if it’s at the top...

…Or Freddie is lying about what’s needed, and intentionally trying to send things haywire.

Not too much mercury or the world ends, not too much sulfur or we all go mad…

Forget "Mr. Bonzo's On His Way," my favorite tune in The Magnus Protocol is Sam playing Alice like a fiddle on repeat.

Fans of any work Jonny Sims was involved in make it their life mission to defy his will. John? No. Fuck you. It’s Jon. Don’t twink the monsters? Oh man here’s a drawing of color reverse Mr Blobby in a sexy maid outfit. Fort Galfridian’s sun? Tube shaped. Die.

Tf One AU idea

What if like Decepticon Bee and Autobot Starscream but it occured at the exact same time?

Imagine Optimus already grieving the loss of his best friend — and then, on top of that, his new friend decides to leave with him too. I get it though; B wouldn’t want anyone to be alone, so he’s not siding with Megatron because he agrees with him, but because that’s his friend. And Optimus just has to sit there and accept it — like, yeah, it hurts, but... oh well. It’s their choice, and he has to respect it.

Then he and Elita turn around — and Starscream’s still there.

After Elita tells him to leave, he just flat-out refuses — for a bunch of complicated reasons he won’t say out loud. But really, it mostly comes down to the fact that he just doesn’t want to. Probably out of pure pettiness, since he’s still bitter about being demoted. He figures there’s no point in going back anyway, and now he wants to start grabbing power here instead.

(Also because he’s secretly homesick and dealing with a lot of internalized issues he won’t admit. And a lot of them are related to the Primes and the nagging sense of guilt which he totally won't admit even under threat, tbh my headcanon is a lot of the High Guard do hold a sense of Guilt of failing at their jobs I think Starscream Shockwave and Soundwave would have it to a greater degree since they were high ranking members)

And technically, the High Guard was supposed to serve the Primes — and from his point of view, Optimus was clearly the stronger one. So why should he leave?

Meanwhile, he’s just conveniently ignoring the whole "participated in terrorism" part.

Now Elita and Optimus aren’t just trying to build a faction from scratch while preparing for a possible war against the Decepticons or Quintessons — they’re also grieving the loss of two friends and stuck dealing with someone who basically has no moral compass left.

Meanwhile, to make things even more painfully ironic, a lot of the Decepticons and old High Guard actually end up liking B. He’s like their weird, annoying little brother — it’s a toxic mess, but some of them genuinely care about him.

Bottom line: they’re having way more luck than Optimus and Elita right now.

Meanwhile, Megatron’s still spiraling, but he’s actually trying to be nice to B — he really does appreciate that at least one of his friends stuck with him. But sometimes, no matter how hard he tries, he just can’t keep it together.

Not that B’s having a great time either. Honestly, the only ones who are actually nice to him are Soundwave, maybe Thundercracker, and a few other bots here and there. (Totally not me pushing my Thunderbee agenda.)

Meanwhile, Shockwave and Elita are both just out here having the absolute worst day of their lives

The thing is, no one’s personalities are actually different in this AU. B still doesn’t really approve of Megatron’s actions — just like in the movie — so he’s not exactly a hardcore Decepticon supporter or anything. He just feels lonely overall, he wants to befriend everyone but they are all either hardened veterans who don't want to talk too much to him or straight up ignore his presence unless it's to do something they want,he wants to talk to D/Megatron but the latter is just acting so distant and he can't even talk to Elita and Optimus either.

He also doesn't like actual violence(that isn't fun)too much and is horrified seeing what the decepticons are becoming but feels overall so lonely.

Starscream is still Starscream. He’s still trying to pull the same stunts he used to with Megatron, except now he’s doing it with Optimus — and the difference is, Optimus and Elita absolutely do not put up with his crap. So he has no choice but to back off...and be forced to adjust when they drill into this that this is not okay and seriously messed up! though of course, he still makes himself a pain for everyone around him, he's kind of an Autobot but he doesn't take the insignia until way later once he actually starts to grow to like Optimus, before he used to be thinking "oh wow this is stupid" at times believing Optimus is too naive, he'll even have moments where he's like agreeing with Megatron at some points. While everyone else gets annoyed.

And he can’t exactly go crawling back to Megatron either, because at this point Megatron would just see him as a traitor. So Starscream’s basically stuck trying to make the best of the mess he threw himself into, since he really can't go back even if he wanted to since Shockwave and Soundwave are not picking up his calls( because he deliberately ignored their calls) and he's overall not having a good time because he legitimately would not leave even when he was banished Elita forced his ass to do community service including help rebuild some of the buildings he destroyed which he still holds resentment over. Because over 70+ bots destroyed those building why is he the only one who has to rebuild them lol? Accepting responsibility sucks if you're the only one who has to fix your mistakes while everyone else runs off,It took quite a while but he did do it out of spite. (Not entirely by himself because Optimus was feeling sympathetic)

They both end up in arguments over battle strategies and straight up every possible thing ever and she is so fed up. I ironically think he would try pulling off most of the stunts on her rather than Optimus because Optimus is Prime no point in trying to challenge that, but he can try to one-up Elita or atleast get on her nerves and she is 2 seconds away from personally kicking him out of Iacon, basically just classic sibling dynamic energy. Optimus is in a weird spot where he can't force Starscream to leave(he literally won't even if OP tried to yank him by the foot)but at the same time this might actually be useful if things end up going well so he thinks parole is the best way to do it for now granted if SS behaves. To put it short he's being optimistic, Elita disapproves though.

Meanwhile, Optimus and Elita just want B to come back home.

There's a lot of pettiness in this AU Megatron thoroughly knows yeah maybe this isn't working out but he just doesn't want to show any weakness infront of Optimus, so over battle calls he just tries to pretend B is much happier here than with you, Optimus is fine with their choice even if it pains him but like are you really sure about that because B is looking unhappy? Meanwhile Starscream has passive aggressive interactions with Shockwave and Soundwave, to see how well they are faring without him to rub it in their face he's doing SO much better here

Soundwave is doing perfectly fine actually he's not even mad, he just thinks it's unconventional and kind of funny,Shockwave is mad because he now has to deal with B's ramblings by himself. He and Starscream have petty interactions

"you replaced me with the yellow bug?"

"quit saying that!no one replaced you, you left on your own".

Basically just MegOp divorce arc and having a lot of other problems building their factions.

The end result is no one is happy, but everyone has a horrible time adjusting. Resulting in a weirdly different timeline of events. B might eventually defect once he realizes this is definitely not working and if Megatron does something to make him make that choice,I don't know about Starscream yet if in an AU like this would he even have much of a reason to go to the Decepticons besides maybe kinship? He'll probably end up staying an Autobot though since I want to focus on the charecter development part, this kind of story really can't be expressed in just a short post so I'll try to write a fic about it, probably the best idea I've had in months.

There might be a bit of a Soundwave and Bee mini plotline and some Goldbug plotline but it's really in rough drafts I have a general idea of how it's gonna happen. Bee kind of eventually reaches a point where he's like fed up, and just more annoyed than anything at how badly Dee is fumbling things up.

I have the entire outline of this plotted out to a possible 25 chapter fic, but I can only publish it after exams, fun fact I had this idea in January in the literal middle of my mock exams I had free time after finishing the paper and came up with it lol.

I don't know if anyone already made an AU like this but just wanted to share my thoughts. I just thought it would be funny. I've seen the idea float around in the fandom and a tag in ao3 but I think the one who originally created the decepticon bee AU is yuukirita so I'd say it's partially inspired by it the other part is just me thinking there are 4 of the quartret and with Megatron and the tripe S trio that would also be a quartet wouldn't it be funny if Bee went with Megatron and Starscream stayed back? That's the idea really.

But plz check out their AU it's great.

So you're telling me that Colin, the same Colin who has an aversion to tech bc of paranoia, CALLED Alice, his probably only friend in the office, bc of something to do with Freddy and that didn't raise any red flags?
